SPEAKING FROM PRE-WAR
EXPERIENCE. Reeeived 'I'hursdav, 8.15 p.m. LONDON, Oct. 31. Uondon oflieials are not attraeted by either of Mr Molotov 's two proposals pu. iietore L mted -Nation* Assembly, namely,' that etu'li power should diseiose llu. liutuiier of troops it maiutains in ilonenexuy eountries, and his proposed reduetion of armament s. The Times tliplonuttie eorrespoudent points out that sueh (liselosures Nvouhl be instruetive only if thev preeisely detailed the iiuinber of troops aiul exact stalioiis. It was liighly uulikely that any power would be willing to do so at present. Certainly the British Uovemment, with speeial responsibilities i'or defending and patrolling long straggiing iniperial lines, would not want to be under sueli obligation. The eorrespoudent adds that tliere is the warmest agreement with M r. Molotov's desire for a reduetion in armaments but prewar experioiiee showed that an international agi'eement eould be effeetive only if all the power* agreed to the fullest inspeetiou of their arms I'aetories. There was lit^tle likelihood that sueh au agreement wouJcl be forthcoming at present.
